ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photo is one of a series of portraits I did in 2015.
I`s a shipping container placed behind a shopping centre in Cape Town’s township “Philippi”, the kids come after school to train and learn how to box - for free.
They use this facility as there is really not a lot to do in the area. It keeps the children off the streets and they learn how to use their time and energy in a positive way. They also learn about rules, boundries, discipline, exchange and respect.
